PRCo In Kenosha, WI

[brathke at juno.com]

This reminds me of the PRR GG1 paint schemes.  I think everyone knows
about the red GG1's.  I always thought that the other GG1 color was
black, even though it's called  "green" (there's a green GG1 on display
in the Harrisburg, PA station, and it sure looks black).  Then someone
reminded me (in jest?) that the PRR paint mixing instructions called for
1 part green and 7 parts black.
